Chapter 531: A Poor Relative Without Shoes to Wear
Niu Chunxiang's tears flowed out, and she hugged Niu Xiaoqiang, "Little brother, my sister will be from another family in the future, you have to take good care of yourself, remember to cover an extra quilt when it's cold, remember not to be cold when it's hot, and be sure to cover your stomach when you sleep......"
Although what Niu Chunxiang said was some trivial things, Niu Xiaoqiang was deeply touched by it, and he also shed tears and nodded vigorously.
The sister and brother hugged and cried for a while, and the third sister Niu Qiuxiang walked in, she knew what was going on at a glance, and sighed slightly: "Okay, okay, today is a big day, you two don't cry anymore, eldest sister, let's go to the next room, and the three of us as sisters will help you dress up." ”
Niu Chunxiang looked embarrassed and walked out with her head down. Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head slightly, and said in his heart: It will be different after getting married, and having your own small family to take care of is not only a responsibility, but also a new journey in life.
This is the first time Niu Xiaoqiang has felt the atmosphere of marriage so closely, he used to think that marriage was just two people living together. Now it seems that marriage is not as simple as he imagined, as he thought in his heart, after marriage, he will have to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities and need to face a new life journey.
When Niu Xiaoqiang was still sighing, his mother Sun Mei walked in quickly: "Miwa, you hurry up and greet the guests with your father, remember to pack a few more packs of good cigarettes, and send a few more when you see someone." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang looked out the window, it was just dark outside, and he looked a little surprised: "Mom, there are guests here so early?"
Sun Mei smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, "Our family is now considered to have a head and a face, who dares to slack off? Especially those clansmen of the Lao Niu family, who doesn't expect our family to help arrange work? Can they not come over earlier?"
Niu Xiaoqiang sighed, and said in his heart: I didn't expect my mother to be a little fluttery.
"Okay, I'll go out and help. ”
Niu Xiaoqiang packed a few bags of Hongta Mountain, walked outside the door to take a look, and found that the people with heads and faces in Lao Niu's family had basically arrived. These people are either village party secretaries or people with high status in the family, and Niu Dazhuang is talking and laughing with them.
Many people don't know Niu Xiaoqiang, but have only heard of his name. Waiting for Niu Xiaoqiang to go up and hand over the cigarettes, Niu Dazhuang introduced this very capable little son with some pride.
As soon as these people heard that the famous Niu Xiaoqiang was standing in front of them, they immediately stepped forward to say hello. Everyone's demeanor all seemed extremely affectionate, no matter who it was, they were all praising Niu Xiaoqiang:
"Da Zhuang, this baby of your family is really amazing, now there is no one in the whole Aoshan who doesn't know him, everyone says that he is the most promising child in the history of our Lao Niu family!"
"Big nephew, your kid is really promising, how old is this, he is actually the leader of our Aoshan Town, and he will definitely be more promising in the future!"
"Big brother, this son of yours is well born! If I could have such a son, I would wake up with a smile in my dreams!"
Facing the praise of the elders, Niu Xiaoqiang looked very calm and modest.
Niu Dazhuang is different, he took everything everyone said, and announced in public that the factory is ready to expand its production capacity, saying that when recruiting workers this year, he will try his best to take care of his children and let everyone live a good life.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and this was what they were waiting for, otherwise on such a cold day, who wouldn't want to lie in the hot quilt for a while?
Niu Dazhuang became the core of everyone for a while, and everyone surrounded him like a moon, and they thanked him one after another.
Niu Xiaoqiang secretly smiled bitterly when he saw this: Dad is still the same, and he doesn't forget to show off at any time, but he is right, he is going to recruit a group of new employees this year, so let's leave this matter to him to deal with when the time comes.
Niu Xiaoqiang was a little unable to interject, he glanced left and right a few times, ready to see where he needed help.
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, I saw a bad old man in tattered clothes standing under the big tree in front of Niu Huahua's house.
The old man's expression was a little cringe, and a little embarrassed. Niu Xiaoqiang felt familiar at first glance, and always felt as if he had seen him somewhere.
He thought about it carefully, and it didn't take long for his eyes to light up, and he walked towards the other party with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet him before he came to him: "Uncle and grandpa, when did you come? Why are you standing at the door of someone else's house? It's a little cold outside, hurry up and sit down." ”
The old man rubbed his hands in a snort: "I'm not cold, you're Xiaoqiang, right?" You look so handsome in a blink of an eye, if it weren't for listening to your father's introduction just now, I wouldn't have recognized you......
This ragged old man is Niu Xiaoqiang's grandfather's uncle and brother, and he is Niu Xiaoqiang's uncle and grandfather in terms of generation. The blood relationship between the two families is not very close, and there have been three generations of Niu Xiaoqiang's generation, but the relationship between the two families is very good, better than the relatives within three generations.
Their family does not live in Aoshan Town, but lives in Liuhe Town, which is next door to Aoshan Town, and is an authentic peasant family.
Niu Dazhuang had already informed his relatives of the news of marrying his daughter, and of course, there was a distinction between them. Niu Dazhuang only notified those relatives who had a good relationship with their family, and none of the relatives who had a bad relationship were notified.
For example, in the uncle's house, Niu Dazhuang directly ignored it.
Although Niu Xiaoqiang's uncle is a brother with him, the things he did were worse than strangers. Niu Dazhuang has always been dissatisfied with the eldest brother's family, so naturally he will not notify them.
Niu Xiaoqiang's impression of his uncle and grandfather comes from his childhood memories, when his uncle and grandfather's family had not moved from Aoshan Town to Liuhe Town, and the two families often came and went. Although it was not easy for my uncle and grandfather's family, every time I came to Niu Xiaoqiang's house, I would always bring Niu Xiaoqiang something delicious and fun.
Although Niu Xiaoqiang was a fool at the time, he could still distinguish between good and bad, and he could feel his uncle's love for him, so among all the elder relatives, he was the most impressed by his uncle and grandfather.
"Uncle, why didn't my uncle come? and Yingzi, why didn't she come?"
Uncle and grandfather only have one child, a few years younger than Niu Dazhuang, and he is Niu Xiaoqiang's uncle in terms of generation. Yingzi is the daughter of this distant uncle, the same age as Niu Xiaoqiang, and the two often played together when they were children.
Uncle and grandfather smiled a little unnaturally: "Your uncle has other things to do, Yingzi...... Yingzi, she has no shoes to wear, so she can't come......"
